Bush "Leadership" a "Catastrophic Success"

[volosong]

Polls indicate that many regard G.W. Bush as a "strong leader." Comparison with "strong" Presidents (Washington, Lincoln, TR, FDR, Truman, JFK, and Reagan) shows that a majority served in the military, many in combat, and none went AWOL; war was a last resort and won with skillful restraint, and sensitive intelligence; each embraced and advanced science; none prostituted religion or a tragedy like 9/11 for political gain; war time Presidents enjoyed a robust economy of American made goods; none had a national convention highlighted by lies and hateful negativity, or led a juggernaut of political poison; none required apologists to untangle irrational phrases; none was pictured wearing an unearned military ribbon; none tolerated public mocking of the Purple Heart, and none permitted an aide to compare Americans to a 10 year old child.

Mr. Bush is clearly a droll, simple minded soul lacking vision and insight. A loose cannon, he led us into Bloody Iraq; he spends your money like a drunken sailor. Worse yet, he insults the public by by whoppers such as blaming job losses on “junk” lawsuits. Joke-in-the-Box Cheney had an attack of brain paralysis saying a vote for Kerry will invite terrorism. Bush-Cheney did not protect us on 9/11. They are not protecting us or serving us well now. The Bush leadership, to quote the President, is a "catastrophic success."
